Laser-Induced Effects in Solids

Abstract

This project is directed at the experimental investigation of semiconductor materials and quantum-confined structures, as well as model biological membranes, with the overall goal of exploiting the unique high power, tunability , and availability in difficult regions of the spectrum of Free Electron Lasers (FELs) to explore and determine the applicability of novel properties and phenomena in these systems. In-house optical facilities spanning the spectral region from the visible and near ultra violet (UV) through the far infrared (FIR), as well as the FIR FEL facility at the University of California Santa Barbara are used to investigate the electronic states and optical and magneto-optical response of the wide gap diluted magnetic semiconductor ZnFeSe, quantum wells and superlattice structures fabricated in GaAs/AlGaAs and the strained-layer system InGaAs/AlGaAs. In addition, the novel properties of model biological membranes are explored.
